Protecting the resource: an assessment of mitigation methods used to protect large trees from African elephant impact in a savanna system
<p>African elephants (<em>Loxodonta africana</em>) can alter the structural components of savanna ecosystems, often through the reduction of the large tree (>5 m height) cover component. Elephant impact can be amplified in small, protected areas, or areas where water is readily available to elephants. One management option is to protect large trees directly using applied mitigation methods to limit elephant impact. In this paper, we assessed and compared the effectiveness and logistical requirements of four mitigation methods that have been applied to protect large trees from elephant impact in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park - namely African honeybees (<em>Apis mellifera scutellata</em>) in beehives; creosote oil in glass jars, concrete pyramids arranged in circles around trees, as well as wire-netting the trees' main stems. For each method, elephant impact levels and tree mortality rates were measured over a 2–5-year period depending on the method in use. Sample sizes ranged from 43 to 59 trees per mitigation method, with a comparable control, which was a tree of the same species and morphological dimensions but lacking any mitigation application. Beehives were the most effective method at reducing tree loss, significantly reducing tree mortality from 34% (6.8%/year) in control trees to only 10% (2%/year) over the five-year experimental period. However, beehives were the most expensive method to apply to a tree, although this cost can be compensated through honey sales. Concrete pyramids reduced tree loss when the combined pyramid radius was >1.5 m in length, whilst wire-netting was effective against bark-stripping by elephants but was still vulnerable to heavier forms of impact such as uprooting and stem snapping. Creosote jars did not prevent elephants from impacting treated trees. Our results provide managers with a toolkit for protecting large trees against elephant impact, commenting on both the efficacy and the logistical constraints for each method.</p>

Allocating resources for land protection using continuous optimization: an application to US biodiversity conservation
Spatial optimization approaches that were originally developed to help conservation organizations determine protection decisions over small spatial scales are now used to inform global or continental scale priority setting. However, the different decision contexts involved in large-scale resource allocation need to be considered. We present a continuous optimization approach in which a decision-maker allocates funding to regional offices. Local decision-makers then use these funds to implement habitat protection efforts with varying effectiveness when evaluated in terms of the funder's goals. We illustrate this continuous formulation by examining the relative priority that should be given to different counties in the coterminous United States (US) when acquiring land to establish new protected areas. If weighting all species equally, counties in the southwest US, where large areas can be bought cheaply, are priorities for protection. If focusing only on species of conservation concern, priorities shift to locations rich in such species, particularly near expanding exurban areas facing high rates of future habitat conversion (e.g., south-central Texas). Priorities for protection are sensitive to what is assumed about local ecological and decision-making processes. For example, decision-makers who doubt the efficacy of local land protection efforts should focus on a few key areas, while optimistic decision-makers should disperse funding more widely. Efforts to inform large-scale conservation priorities should reflect better the types of choice that decision-makers actually face when working over these scales. They also need to report the sensitivity of recommended priorities to what are often unstated assumptions about local processes affecting conservation outcomes.

WEEE-dismantling trial: Investigation on increasing resource efficiency and environmental protection for the recycling of small household electrical and electronic devices
<p>In the frame of the FORCE-project, Aurubis AG and Stadtreinigung Hamburg (the city of Hamburg’s municipal waste management service) carried out a trial to investigate the recycling advantages of manually pre-dismantling small electrical and electronic devices compared to non-dismantled devices. For this purpose, Stadtreinigung Hamburg dismantled a 10 t test charge of waste electrical and electronic devices and separated plastic, iron, nonferrous metal (NF metal), and aluminum to the greatest possible extent. The fractions were sampled, evaluated, and compared with another 10 t test charge of unhandled (mechanically shredded) devices.<br> Based on the results, the benefits for environmental protection and resource conservation were investigated through an ecological assessment, and an economic efficiency analysis of manual predismantling was carried out as well. Because manual pre-dismantling has proven to be economically inefficient under the current conditions, suggestions for future device design were developed – based on examples of individual product groups – to improve the economic efficiency of manual dismantling<br> and also possibly enable additional metals to be recovered in a cost-efficient manner in the future.</p> <p>Overview of the results<br> - Device-specific – small electrical and electronic devices from collection group 5 (CG 5):<br> o Breakdown of the different device types<br> o Manual dismantling process (dismantling time)<br> o Pollutant content in the electrical and electronic devices<br> o Assessment of difficulties that arose during manual dismantling<br> o Non-ferrous metal percentages for the device type at hand</p> <p>- Charge-specific (manual dismantling vs. mechanical shredding):<br> o Percentages of the material fractions plastic, iron, NF metal, aluminum, and residual material<br> (wood, fabric) for both charges (manually dismantled and mechanically shredded)<br> o Economic efficiency analysis of manual dismantling<br> o Ecological comparison of manual dismantling and mechanical shredding<br> o Suggestions for Design for Recycling</p>
